"Troponinosis", the Cardiologist's Curse-When Clinic-Laboratory Interaction Unveils the Mystery: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cardiac troponins are key diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in acute myocardial infarction and, more generally, for the detection of myocardial injury. Since the introduction of the first immunochemistry methods, there has been a remarkable evolution in analytical performance, especially concerning a progressive improvement in sensitivity. However, the measurement of circulating troponins remains rarely susceptible to analytical interferences. We report a case of persistently elevated troponin I concentrations in a patient with known ischemic heart disease, which almost led to unnecessary diagnostic-therapeutic interventions. A prompt laboratory consultation by the cardiologist ultimately led to the identification of an analytical interference due to troponin macrocomplexes (macrotroponin) causing elevated troponin values in the absence of a clinical presentation compatible with myocardial damage.
